Summary

Flinders Street Public School. Right side of the school is 14 yards east of Daly Street. The left side is 50 1/2 yards east of Daly Street. Flinders Street School was opened in 1878 as the City Model School with an average daily atendance of 593 students. The building was the first two storey public school in the colony. It was designed in a neo-gothic style by Edward John Woods and had a gabled roof. The school closed in 1968. The photograph shows the bluestone building with ornate pointed arch windows and square headed ones. The wide brickwork band halfway up the walls is another strange feature which suggests that the upper storey was an after thought.
